Van made clunking/popping noises over bumps. Replaced sway bar end links, which had torn open rubber boots on both sides. The repair addressed the sway bar ends' contribution to the noise, but there were still other worn parts making noise. After replacing the sway bar end links and sway bar bushings, the car still made popping noises driving over bumps. Further diagnosis was that the struts were starting to separate from their upper mounts, as well as worn lower ball joints (necessitating replacement of the complete control arms, lower engine mount, and rear shocks, spring bushings and shackle mounts. |
